and advances the development of its in-house programmes. I would also like to take this
opportunity to thank Dr Ian Smith, our previous CEO, for his contribution to the success of Glide,
and I look forward to his continuing support as a member of the company’s Board.”

“Glide is in a truly transformational period in its development, and I am delighted to have this
opportunity to lead the organisation,” said Dr. Mark Carnegie-Brown, Glide Pharma’s CEO.

forward to leading the team as we accelerate the development of the company’s solid dose
delivery technology.”

About the Glide SDI® solid dose injector

The Glide SDI® is an innovative needle-free delivery system. The reusable injector uses a spring
mechanism to administer a tiny solid dosage below the patient’s skin, where it dissolves and releases the
pharmaceutical. Glide’s solid dose formulations eliminate the risk of needle-stick injuries and avoid time-
consuming reconstitution. They also have the potential to modify the release of medicines and to improve
stability, removing the need for refrigeration. The one-click action, pen-sized device is extremely easy to
use, with medicines supplied in pre-filled disposable cassettes, making it ideal for self administration. In
clinical testing, volunteers strongly preferred the Glide SDI® to traditional needle and syringe.
